Colleagues describe her as "Loree's sharp strategic direction, thoughtful leadership, and collaborative approach to partnerships was evident from the moment we had our first exploratory conversation. Loree and her team became extended members of our team, as we worked together to create a development plan for the World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh. In the midst of a global pandemic, our organization also navigated staff changes, we kicked off a strategic planning process, and faced personal challenges. Loree was there with us in lockstep through it all, helping us build capacity, recruit terrific new team members, and even helped us build new connections that resulted in new partnerships for our organization. We are so thankful to Loree and to the entire Thread Strategies family for their incredible work." and "Having already been a client of Loree and Thread once, she was my first call when I took on a new position leading a $2M nonprofit and needed a smart, fresh, and bold review of our fundraising operations. Loree and Thread did a deep dive analysis of our development program, interviewed key stakeholders, spent a lot of time with our team, and created a first-rate development strategy playbook. They also staffed the search for our new Director of Development and served as our interim development staff while we were between directors. With the help of their work and recommendations, our new donor acquisition was up over 700% in one year; overall individual giving rose 40% year over year; and we are in position to implement a new CRM that will integrate across all our organizational platforms. I cannot thank Loree and Thread enough!"
